First of its kind: Independent movie about a guy who eliminates chain restaurants.

(PRLEAP.COM) How ironic, or maybe not so ironic, that a new movie about a guy who eliminates chain restaurants because of health and corporate greed concerns, was written and directed by the relative of a famous CEO known for benevolence.

“Take Out” a comedy feature, has wrapped principal photography and is scheduled for completion by New Year’s. A spring, summer or fall 2005 release in theaters is planned.

First-time writer/director Seth Landau is the relative of Aaron Feuerstein, the chairman of Malden Mills in Lawrence, Mass. Mr. Feuerstein rocketed to fame after paying thousands of employees following the 1995 fire that destroyed his mills, founded by the family in early 1900s. To this day, Mr. Feuerstein is written about and celebrated for his heroics.

The title character in “Take Out” crusades to rid the world of chain restaurants because of the unhealthy food and rip-off prices, a script motivated by a particularly harrowing experience at a steak-house chain in Los Angeles attended by Mr. Landau several years ago.

Writer/director Mr. Landau graduated from Arizona State University in 1998, and during his college years reported for the Phoenix media. After college he was awarded the prestigious writing fellowship offered by alternative newsweekly, New Times. Now based in Los Angeles, Mr. Landau shot the entire movie in Metro Phoenix.

With cutting-edge subject matter, high-powered soundtrack featuring some of the best up-and-coming Los Angeles bands and All-Star cast, “Take Out” will give audiences a moving experience they won’t forget.
